It's about time that judges realised these people have no intentions whatsoever about stopping piracy, and just want to make money.

In the panel I took part on in interNEXT someone made a great point. All piracy is done by one person or one group of people. One member gets the stuff and seeds it.

It is very easy to find that person.

Yet the "lawyers" don't go after him, they send out 9,000 john doe blackmail letters...

I wonder why?

Of yes, because this is nothing to do with piracy and is everything to do with making as much money as possible. The leaked emails from ACS:Law prove this.

I thought it was a brilliant point.

What do you think?
I think you're full of it.

You keep taking the lame stance that tracking ip addresses is just a money making ploy...

But consider this concept genius-

What if the real idea was to try to get your money back?

Did you ever, even once, consider the amount of $ LOST by these companies and these extreme measures are being taken to *recoup their losses* from piracy?

Why of course not because it doesn't fit into your whiny rant.

Bottom line: companies are tired of getting ripped off and they will *succesfully* do whatever it takes to get their money back and then some.

Lawyers, Guns and Money

Adapt or die
